habanablue Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 Avatar is me, Habana Blue was the name of two cigar nights my wife, sister's ex and I held back in early 2000s. Never really got off the ground but found my niche writing about cigars rather than hosting parties.

dB69 Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Interesting stories here, I tell mine shortly. Nickname. Letters dB stand for decibel because I dislike silence. My neighbors dislike me. The numbers reveal the year of my birth. Avatar. My cockatoo with a "What's going on?" look in her face. She has a loud voice.
Rushman Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Avatar is a pic of me smoking in my former local b&m before I left Houston for Mexico. My name is Rush, and friends have always called me rushman so that was easy.
oliverchang514 Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Nice Bump Leaf. The name OCD has to do with my name as it is Oliver Chang and people used to tease/joke (or maybe not) that I have obsessive compulsive disorder. I thought it was fitting with my intials and personality. <-unfortunate i know My avatar is a pic of myself when I went with some friends early in year to San Francisco. (first time there) I had a stogie and some Macallan at a cigar bar, which led me down the path of enjoying and collecting some Scotch.

goalie204 Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 I played hockey as a kid, and of course i played the goalie. It didn't become a nickname until when i was around 14 or so i got a CB radio, and used to mess around on it. Well everyone used a handle, not their real names, so i decided to go with goalie. I added 204 to it when i started posting on cigar forums because 204 is my area code in my province of Manitoba My avatar is simply metal horns - from wikipedia: "the sign eventually came to signify, variously, that the one gesturing is rocking him or herself, is encouraging the recipient of the gesture to rock, and/or that he/she emphatically appreciates the rocking that has already commenced." To me it simply means "I love heavy metal "
laficion Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 The name is laficion, Aficion means PASSION in spanish. In french, we say L apostrophe, aficion, meaning "the passion" This has been the case for the last 40 years, contrary to Piggy, I've seen many ups and even more downs but the passion is always there , for the better or for the worse. I created a cigar club 17 years ago and named the club "L'Aficion du Havane". My Avatar is simply an animation of a cat that I found funny and for the moment, it fits well .

CigarCanuck Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Being East Indian myself. I always questioned and laughed when reading your avatar name. Great story !!! My profile name was basically a random thought at the time when I signed up. I thought it had a nice ring to it Great thread! OK. My avatar is a picture of me smoking a Trinidad Robusto T outside of the Arena in Verona Italy this past September. As for the FOH name....sigh..... One of my best friends is Indian(East). So he'd toss some words in our conversations just for fun. As an Italian I'd always get asked about what the best nasty words can be used for effect. He is basically obliging me with a few words as well. Bund = "ass". Wallah = "person". As big fans of Seinfeld we both enjoyed the episode where Kramer gets someone else vanity plates that said "Ass Man". So I put together the above two words to make "Ass Man" in Indian. (And forgive me. India has tons of languages and dialects. So the actual language escapes me. But I believe its Hindi.) I created the username "bundwallah" as a separate email identity to sign up for free tech stuff, promotions, forums etc so that my actual email address wouldn't get bombarded with crap. Over time I've managed it down to a somewhat useful identity and have kept my email accounts with that name clean. So basically, its my username for "fun stuff" on the Internet that I don't want to associate with my regular ID. It was meant to be a toss away but it's become handy.
mdzotti78 Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 I couldn't come up with anything better, so I used my name. My avatar is "Booger" from Revenge of the Nerds. One of my all time favorite movies.
